Concept Map, NEGRO INSURRECTION IN VIRGINIA. NEGROES AND…

- - - - An example of blackness in our society is "Black student organizations channeled and catalyzed Seale’s and
        Newton’s interest in social transformation yet also frustrated it. The Party founders
        met in the early 1960s at Merritt Junior College, where both took
        classes. At the college, they became involved in a political study group as well as other
        black student activities. They also participated in the Afro-
        American Association (Nelson 2011).
- - - - "As a result, captives and those who claimed to own them and understood that Saltwater slavery menaced them with "social death" of unprecedented proportions (Smallwood 2007)."
        
        Saltwater slavery severed all ties to family, community, culture, language, and homeland, creating a total rupture in a person’s social identity.
        2.Saltwater slavery created conditions where enslaved Africans were disconnected from ancestry and future generations, disrupting lineage and cultural continuity
        
        enslaved Africans resisted social death by building new kinship networks, cultural practices, and community bonds in the diaspora.
      - "As a discipline, African American studies emerged out of
        sociopolitical struggles that demanded more than intellectual inclusion at colleges and universities (Mustakeem and NYC PRESS 2019)."

        "Obruni" or 'the stranger" - A need for community - An outcome of forced displacement
- - - - Abolitions connection towards feminism. Rosalyn Terborg-Penn has said "black women fought racism & sexism simultaneously". Dessie Woods. Joan Little.
        
        A system alligned with gender held of the "economy" of slavery as a black womans ability to reproduce was seen as reproduction of "Slave labor" (Morgan 2004)
    - - “if slavery is
        capitalism, as the currently fashionable historical interpretation has it, the movement to abolish it is, at
        the very least, its obverse” (Sinha 2016, 3).
        
        Abolition in the present day is focused on abolishing the prison system which is nothing more than modern day slavery. You can look towards Angela Davis for stronger ideas revovling around dismanteling prisons. we're focused on dismanteling, not repair. There is no use in repairing a system that is working as intended. "By the end of the twentieth century, U.S. spending on punishment outpaced its allocations
        for welfare grants by the billions (Kohler-Hausmann 2017, 1)"
    - - "Christiana Riot"- Free black people and white neighrbors rioted against the "federal fugitive slave catching posse" while protecting four "runaways" from recapture (Which is what most runaways had to fear, even after escaping towards the south). In what stands as the "largest" treason trial in American History, no one was convicted even if a Maryland slaveholder was wounded in the riot.
